Tove Lo

ALONGSIDE CHRISTINE AND THE QUEENS AND SHURA, POP’S SEXUALITY-FLUID REVOLUTION IS BEING SPEARHEADED BY TOVE LO – THE FIERCE, FRESH AND FRANK SWEDISH SINGER-SONGWRITER WHO’S COLLABORATED WITH BOTH NICK JONAS AND YEARS & YEARS IN 2016. AS SHE PREPARES TO DROP HER SUPERB SECOND ALBUM LADY WOOD, WE CHAT TO THIS EXCITING RISING STAR ABOUT BEING BI, SUBVERTING POP CULTURE’S “BOY MEETS GIRL” TROPE, AND WHY SHE’LL ALWAYS BE IN OLLY ALEXANDER’S CORNER…

Tove Lo makes pop music that’s cool, catchy and kind of risqué. “I eat my dinner in the bath tub / Then I go to sex clubs,” she sang on her 2014 breakthrough hit Habits (Stay High). Then she celebrated the freedom of being in an open relationship on this summer’s comeback single Cool Girl, which featured the knowing line, “We don’t put a label on it.” And now, in her usual no-messing-about style, she’s named her new album Lady Wood.
